You know... I am starting to wonder if people's idea of Science is that it is some sort of religion where you read this big book of science and anything that isn't in that book is deemed non-existent.
Watched a character who is basically the braniac scientist of their group who lives in a world where magic exists... Now! for once this isn't the "Magic and science are separate" deal (even though that is equally as annoying in MOST settings... with one exception being a game where science and magic work on different principles that counter-act the other). Oddly enough the scientist never refutes magic (I can only guess that he believes that magic works under scientific principles)
In this case the guy looks at talking furniture and goes "You can't talk, furniture doesn't have the right parts to talk" and basically refuses that it should be able to talk... In a world where this is common (and no, it isn't meant to be a joke... Like the Simpsons Africa episode where they bend biology over their knee)
So... as a scientist... You see a talking Chair and indeed it does seem to talk... and instead of doing the scientific thing and finding HOW or IF it can actually talk... You just dismiss it out of hand because "science told me"

This reminds me of the episode where a Scientist basically SCIENTIFICALLY proves that luck exists... and their conclusion is that logic doesn't exist.
Yes... because is science actually proves a phenomenon exists that actually can be specifically controlled in a scientific setting. It Immediately means logic has no meaning because superstition and science are opposites right?
OHH WAIT many things we enjoy today are things we thought were hocus pocus OR were folk remedies
You are a TERRIBLE scientist!
